Line 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom with heavy-duty foil, pressing foil into scalloped sides of pan. Grease foil and dust with matzo cake meal. Finely grind almonds, sugar, cinnamon and salt in food processor. Add half of beaten egg (about 1 1/2 tablespoons; reserve remaining egg for another use) and extract and blend until dough holds together. Using moistened fingertips, press dough over bottom and up sides of prepared pan. Bake crust 10 minutes. Wrap fingertips with paper towels and gently, but quickly, press puffed crust to original shape. Continue to bake crust until pale golden, about 3 minutes longer. Again, gently press crust to original shape. Cool crust completely (crust will crisp as it cools). Turn crust out of pan and carefully peel off foil. Return crust to pan. FOR FILLING: Brush bottom of crust with 1 tablespoon preserves. Melt margarine in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Remove pan from heat; whisk in 2/3 cup raspberry puree and honey. Pour chocolate filling into crust; smooth top. Refrigerate tart until filling is firm, at least 3 hours. Brush filling with 1 tablespoon preserves. Arrange enough berries, side by side, atop filling to cover completely, pressing berries lightly into preserves to anchor. If desired, stir remaining 1 tablespoon preserves in small saucepan over low heat until melted. Brush tops of berries with warm preserves to glaze. Refrigerate tart uncovered up to 8 hours before serving. DO-AHEAD TIP: Tart can be prepared 3 days ahead before decorated with fresh raspberries. Cover and keep refrigerated.

Add the whole wheat flour and process for 30 seconds. Add the all-purpose flour and salt. Process for an additional 15 to 20 seconds. Scatter the butter on top and process just until crumbly. Combine the egg and vanilla in a small bowl. Beat lightly and pour over the mixture in the bowl of the food processor. Process for about 30 seconds to form a dough. Turn out onto a sheet of wax paper on a work surface. Work any loose flour into the dough and form it into a ball. Wrap it in the wax paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat cookie sheets with vegetable oil cooking spray. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it warm to room temperature for about 5 minutes. Roll the dough into balls by the tablespoonful and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. With the end of a wooden spoon (or a pinkie finger), make a deep well in the center of each ball, taking care not to crack the dough. Gently flatten a bit. Put about 1/4 teaspoon of the blackberry filling in each well. Bake for 14 to 15 minutes, until the cookies are golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and cool on the sheets for 3 minutes, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to finish cooling. For Strawberry Tarts or Raspberry Tarts, use an equal amount of strawberry or seedless raspberry spreadable fruit in lieu of the blackberry filling.

" > <RTxt> <![CDATA[ * Exported from MasterCook * Intense Semi-Sweet Chocolate Tart Recipe By :Executive Pastry Chef Eddie Hales, The Four Seasons Fountain Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- For Dough: 2 cups flour 1/3 cup sugar 12 tablespoons unsalted butter -- (1 1/4 sticks) chill 1 egg For Chocolate Cream: 14 ounces semisweet chocolate -- chopped 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 3/4 cup milk 2 eggs -- beaten TO MAKE DOUGH: In a food processor, combine the flour and sugar. Add the cold butter and pulse the machine 10 to 15 times or until the butter has been cut into the flour in pieces about the size of oatmeal flakes. While the machine is running, add the egg, pulsing the machine on and off, for a few seconds longer, or until the dough comes together. Transfer the dough to the counter and, if it is still dry, sprinkle it with a teaspoon or so of water and work the water into the dough. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and chill, preferably overnight, or for at least 2 hours. TO ROLL OUT DOUGH: Lightly flour the counter and roll the dough into a circle, 14 inches in diameter. Drop the dough into a fluted 9.5-inch tart shell and gently press it in. Prick the bottom surface of the pastry with the tines of a fork. Wrap the pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for one hour. TO PREBAKE TART SHELL: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the tart shell with a piece of foil or parchment paper and then put in pie weights TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CREAM: Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream and milk to a boil. Remove from the heat, slowly pour the hot cream into the chocolate and gently whisk until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Slowly whisk in the eggs until completely combined. TO BAKE TART: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Place the cooled tart shell on a baking sheet and carefully pour in the chocolate cream. Bake in the oven until the cream is just firm in the center, about 35 to 40 minutes. To check for doneness, gently jiggle the tart. If the filling is set, it will shake as a firm unit; if underdone, waves will shiver in the center. If the filling needs more time, continue cooking, checking every 5 minutes, until done. Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Do not refrigerate the tart or else the chocolate cream filling will seize up.

You should have about 1/2 cup. Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and confectioners' sugar at high speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg; mix to combine. Lower the speed to slow and add the flour, mixing until barely combined. Add the walnuts and continue mixing, scraping the sides of the bowl, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough. Wrap the half you'll be using in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Wrap the other half well in plastic and then in foil and freeze for future use. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9 1/2-inch tart pan. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a round about 1/8 inch thick. Arrange it in the pan, trimming to fit. Line the crust with foil or kitchen parchment and weight with beans or pie weights. Bake until the edge is light golden brown, about 20 min. Carefully remove the beans and foil and bake until the bottom is dry and light brown, about another 5 min. Cool to room temperature. FOR THE FILLING: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the sugar and whisk until just combined. Add the lemon juice and cream and whisk until just combined. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer and pour into the prepared pie crust. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake the tart until the filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool at room temperature. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Add the butter and cut it into the dough using two knives, a pastry blender, or your fingertips until the dough looks crumbly. Add the egg and 1 tablespoon water; mix with a fork until the dough just holds together. (If the dough won't come together, add up to another 1 1/2 teaspoon water, a tiny bit at a time.) Don't overmix; the dough should feel slightly sticky. Shape the dough into a 6-inch log. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the chilled dough into six equal pieces. Roll each piece into a round about 1/8 inch thick. Prick the rounds all over with a fork and gently fit them into 4-inch tartlet pans, trimming any excess dough. Line each tartlet with foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake the tartlet shells for about 15 minutes. Remove the pie weights and the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, until golden. Cool on a rack. FOR THE FILLING: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the toasted nuts, coconut, and raisins with the warm butterscotch sauce. Divide the filling among the six tartlet shells. Bake until the filling just starts to bubble, 7 to 9 minutes. Using a wide spatula, carefully transfer the tartlets to a rack. Allow the tartlets to cool for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the tartlets from their pans and serve warm with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or creme fraiche, if you like.

Add the 1/3 cup flour, the confectioners' sugar, ground almonds, egg, vanilla and salt. Beat until well blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Add the remaining 1 1/4 cups flour and beat on low speed just until incorporated; do not overmix. Divide the dough in half; flatten each half into a disk, wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Line 2 baking sheets without sides with parchment paper; dust very lightly with flour. Place 1 pastry disk on a prepared baking sheet; the dough will be sticky. Working quickly and using as little extra flour as possible, roll it out to an 11-inch round about 1/8 inch thick. Repeat with the other pastry disk. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Flip 1 round of dough into a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Peel off the parchment paper. Fit the dough into the pan, gently pressing into the bottom and against the sides of the pan. Prick the tart shell all over with a fork. Repeat with the other round of dough. Freeze the tart shells for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 week. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the tart shells for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool. Leave the oven on. TO MAKE THE FILLING: Using a small sharp knife, peel, quarter and core the pears. Slice them lengthwise 1/4 inch thick. In a medium bowl, whisk the cream with the eggs, granulated sugar and ground almonds. For each tart, arrange the pear slices in concentric circles, sprinkle the ginger over the pears and carefully pour the custard filling over the fruit. TO SERVE: Bake the tarts for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the custard is firm and the crusts are browned. Transfer the tarts to a rack and let cool to room temperature before serving.
